For too long, pipelines have been allowed to leak and vent methane. PHMSA has proposed a new rule which will greatly curtail methane emissions from pipelines. Check out our guide to see how you can let @PHMSA_DOT know it’s important to finalize a strong rule
We’ve released a new resource to inform grassroots organizations and members of the public on how they can participate in the comment period for the PHMSA rulemaking, Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Leak Detection and Repair.

🚨#UPDATE: Crews have successfully turned off the gas and lifted the evacuation orders, but they are now asking residents to remain sheltered in place within a 4-mile radius. Video footage suggests that a construction vehicle may have damaged the pipe, leading to the explosion

Shame on any reporter who accepts at face value a gas utility's explanation that a fireball like this was "likely due to a damaged underground cable." cbsnews.com/boston/news/camb…

Breaking News: Project Canary signals a shift away from gas certification as CEO and Founder Chris Romer steps down from the company. This comes on the heels of our "Certified Disaster" campaign with @PriceofOil and @GasLeaksAction. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

How can we create quality jobs and cut pollution? 👷♂️🏭🛢️ Reduce #MethaneEmissions in the U.S. oil and gas sector! Tell @EPA to finalize its rule to #CutMethane pollution before the end of summer! Our report makes the case. bluegreenalliance.org/pluggi…

Thank you for your leadership, @BrownTristanh and @PHMSA_DOT
Discussed at the @WhiteHouse Methane Summit what we’re doing @PHMSA_DOT to reduce safety & environmental risks from methane emissions while boosting jobs for pipeline workers & companies that are helping Americans save 💵on energy bills by keeping methane in the pipe! 🇺🇸👷🏻♂️👷🏿♀️👨🔧🔧

This combined with the safety risks highlighted in the @pstrust report means we need to be very careful how hydrogen is deployed #pipelinesafety pstrust.org/wp-content/uploa…
New study confirms that leaked #hydrogen has a significant global heating impact, around 37x that of carbon over a 20 year time frame
Colonial Pipeline polluting groundwater in NC again, this time with toxic MTBE. Great reporting @lisalsong! ncnewsline.com/briefs/coloni…
"It takes as little as 0.2 percent of gas to leak to make natural gas as big a driver of climate change as coal, the study found."
I think it's safe to say current infrastructure is leaking much more than 0.2%.
Natural gas has long been seen as a cleaner energy alternative. But if it leaks, even a little, “it’s as bad as coal,” said a researcher and environmental policy expert at Brown University. nyti.ms/44FNqL4
Cutting methane emissions is about more than our climate
Oil and gas emissions are exacerbating thousands of childhood asthma cases in PA. To protect our youngest and most vulnerable, we need to #CutMethane pollution. @EHPinfo tinyurl.com/yckvjcjh

Project Tundra in ND is a major test for carbon capture. I spoke with @emilygrubert about why she thinks retrofits or old coal plants are likely to fail on a number of levels:
